The Veiled Hand
Beyond Majestic Mountains,
Across the Merigold Dale,
On March the Ivory Standard,
United we Prevail,
From Distant Shores of Oth'Gard,
To Lakes of Lacus Far,
The Light of Mighty Oreion,
Fore'er our Guiding Star,
Beginning Excerpt from the Oreion National Anthem
The Veiled Hand serves as the primary military and standing army of the Oreion Inquisition. While nations such as the Crescent Empire have fought well against the Inquisition in the past due to their use of magical talent and unique militant resources (such as dragon riders), the sheer might and number of the Oreion army is unrivaled on Western Arkos. While each of the five noble houses of Oreion has their own military forces in their regions, the Overseers of the houses are also required to provide at least 5,000 trained and able-bodied soldiers at any given time by the Grand Inquisitor. These vigilants as they are called answer to a designated Inquisitor, who command battalions of soldiers and are one of the few Oreion personnel who are permitted the use of magic.
Members of the Veiled Hand can also be commanded by a Iudex, should the need arise for it, and occasionally members of The Idyll Keepers may be called to bolster military ranks.
